Advice.
From Home journal.

Advice and counsel are generally regarded
as interchangeable terms but there really seems to
be a difference which, though slight is decided
Counsel is never given unasked-advice may be
given in the most unProvoked manner. Counsel is
reasoning together advice is the individual
opinion of the advisers.
Children who have no parents TO advise them, are
regarded as very badly OF, as indeed they are but
would not all such as need advice be better for
counsel instead? To offer advice is to say how one
would act upon particular occasion brought to
note under the stress Of some peculiar Circumstances
but would it not be better for the future of that
Child that counsel should be taken together-the
circumstances incentives and general aspect Of the
situation be closely inspected far possible and
counsel given the proper thing to do in all such
cases, rather than as to what the adviser would do
under these particular circumstances?
Further too is less advice and more example were
given to or children, both their lives and ours
would not be one-hall 50 hard

If parents speak Of their children as quarrelsome

Valuable Recipes.


A Ready Poultice-Wounds made by rusty tools
Or nails or by the teeth of dogs and other auimanls
are not only very painful, but enealy quite
dangerous. To allay the pain, extract the poison
and hasten the healing process, there is nothing
that we know ofso wonderfully effective as raw,
fat, salt pork and onions equal parts, chopped up
together and applied in q thick layer either directly
to the wound or folded into single layer of linen
Leave on until healed Even slice of raw salt
pork, tied the wound made by rusty nail will
draw the Inflammation all out, render the flesh
clear white and heal up the injury in a shorter time
than any drug known to us will do it. This is the
best use that can be made of fat pork as we do not
believe in its free internal application, especially in
summer.-Orchard and Garden.
French Omelette.-Four eggs, three tablespoonfuls
of milk, one teaspoonful of sweet herbs chopped
fine parsley, lemon thyme, marioram; dried herbs
in the wnter) two teaspoonfuls of grated cheese
three ounces of butter Beat up the eggs, then add
the milk, herbs and cheese; put the butter into
fryingpan let boil until it sputers, then pour in the
omelette, stir it round carefully way until it
thickens then shake it little that it does not stick
to the pan, and serve up hot
Picked Watermelon Rinds-Peel the green skin
from the rinds and scrape off all the red pulp till
the rind is finn and hard. Cut them in small pieces
about three inches long, and lay them in weak
brine made by adding q cup of salt to gallon of
water After they have soaked in this brine for
twelve h ours remove them, rinsng them off and
weigh them. Allow halfa pound of sugar to every
pound of rinds and vinegar enough to cover them.
Stick Glove in every piece of rind. Add about
ounce of stick cinnamon and half an ounce of cassa
buds to every seven pounds of rinds. Put the vine
gar and sugar in porcelain kettle, and when it
boils add the watermelon rinds and cook them till
they are tender and perfectly clear. 1t will take
some time. The rinds should be simmered slowly

to cook only part of the rinds at once. When they
are all cooked put them in a stone pot and pour the

from Egypt a nation destined to march in the
van of human progress, called into existence
only for the purpose of leading, as the
first of God, His other children of earth to
Him, the Father of all.

An Almost Human Appeal.


Edwin Emory, of East Baltimore had an ex-
perience of the saeacity of the dog yesterday.
On his way down South Broadway a small dog
up to him, acting in a strange manner. The
little fellow jumped on him and licked his hands
and occasionally snapped and whined. Thinking
of hydrophobia, Mr. Emory kicked the dog.
which then in front of him, and, posing in a
begging position, began to beat the air with his
front legs. Mr. Emory insisted on having moth
ing to do with the dog, but it repeated the act
several times Finally. just as he was going to
knock the persistent little beegar with sufficient
vieor to last for all time Mr.. Emory discovered
a large pin sticking in the foot of the dog, and
with humane instinct he took him in his arms
and pulled it AS relieved the dog
manifested his thanks by licking Mr.. Emory s
hands, and then disappeared as fast as he could.
